Ischebeck Titan is 20

On November 16th 1990 Ischebeck Titan Ltd officially registered its Formwork and Ground Engineering divisions within the UK. Originally operating on a small plot of land rented from piling and foundation engineers, Roger Bullivant, Ischebeck Titan Ltd has, in 20 short years, evolved into an international group of companies.

Since the summer of 1996 the company has been operating from a new purpose built distribution centre and head office in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire. All research and development, together with ongoing project design and detail is carried out from a central drawing office facility in the North of England. A qualified team of sales engineers service the business via a national sales network.

Ischebeck Titan’s design and sales teams work closely with customers at an early stage of project development. This way, ultimately the best possible product solution is adopted and maximum efficiency
is inherited by the build programme. All detail drawings are colour coded for ease of reading on site and utilise Auto Cad 2008, together with bespoke equipment macros. The ‘Span’ beam programme is utilised to produce calculations in order to substantiate the structural integrity of the proposal. Health and safety product tool box talks are made available together with on site product training. Live sites receive regular on going technical support throughout the life of the project.

February 2006 saw Ischebeck Titan make the domestic acquisition of Cambridgeshire based Inform UK Ltd. Since 1982 Inform have been successfully supplying formwork plus a comprehensive range of consumable concrete and reinforcement accessories both in the UK and overseas. Through Inform UK, Ischebeck Titan are now able to provide a greater choice of formwork product solutions together with an extensive range of fully compatible accessories, chemicals and membranes to the concreting industry.

In 2005 Ischebeck Titan supplied a major portion of the formwork and falsework to the new Dubai airport project. During this involvement the full potential that the Middle Eastern region offered was quickly realised. In 2006 Ischebeck Titan (ME) LLC was launched. Since then the Titan ME team have serviced numerous prestigious projects within the gulf region and, in spite of the current slow down are continuing to show year on year growth.

To meet the demands of the ever changing construction market, Ischebeck Titan invest heavily in product development and innovation. Indeed, Ischebeck Titan were the first formwork company to introduce the ‘full height’ wind shields and hydraulic formwork hoist to the perimeter of multi storey developments in the UK.

Ischebeck Titan’s membership of a variety of professional organisations ensures that the company is kept abreast of the latest changes made to industry legislation. With additional support from parent company, Ischebeck GMBH, founded in Germany in 1881, Ischebeck Titan’s collective disciplines enable the group of companies to offer innovative, high quality Ground Engineering and Formwork solutions practically anywhere in the world.
